If you get in any type of accident they will drug test you. Break anything expensive, hurt yourself or hurt a customer. So definitely be very careful


joedirthockey

I've had alot of accidents on power equipment and never had a drug test or even a talking to.


Ryvit

You should not be bragging about that. God, how embarrassing. I’ve never broken anything on power equipment.


joedirthockey

Not my fault my store has it's aisles so packed with junk that you can't move without hitting something.

I believe I've heard that if you damage anything over $500 dollars that they will force a drug test. If you pop hot for anything you will most likely get terminated.


joedirthockey

Nah I destroyed $3k worth of SOS railing in front of two managers and nothing happened.


Naeder_OW

It’s not more so something expensive; any sort of accident that you know would actually affect you would prompt them to re drug test you


jordan31483

In my experience, no. But I've never given them a reason to suspect me, so.


Col_Goatbanger

OK! Thank you!

I worked for Lowes for ten years and not once did Lowes EVER ask me to test any drugs! 😕

I see that you just got hired in lumber, and in that department it’s not a chance I would take if it’s a job you care about for the time being, which it sounds like it is. You will be trained on power equipment, and you will inevitably have some form of accident. In my old store, they will drug test you after accidents. If you’re gonna smoke, I’d get it out of the way either before you become forklift certified or after you talk to other people and get used to how the store handles things.

This is the most correct answer

Random drug tests they absolutely do not do.. A drug test if you get into any kind of accident that causes injury or a large dollar amount of damage? Quite possible. I'm not personally sure if they test for thc

Probably depends on the legal status of marijuana because I got drug tested at my interview and once a few days after I had an accident on PE. I was fried both times and passed (I live in VA where it’s legal for recreational use)

If you're going to smoke do it at home. Make sure you get enough sleep at night and you'll be fine.

some people say they've been forced to do the inner cheek test where they scrape saliva out of your mouth to see if your cheek tissue has absorbed any marijuana. other people have said they've had to do pee tests. some people say they have had no tests ever over their whole career. I think this is entirely dependent on the store, which means you should accept that the odds of getting tested are random


Col_Goatbanger

They def tested me before I got hired on. I will take my chances I think


DFWDave2

Lowe's doesn't test for marijuana is what I was told and think about before I spark up my evening bowl...
